In an underground space in the Eight Ancient Continents.
This was the place where Lu An and the four Immortal Ministers had come before the mission. Lu An was a very cautious person. He did not know what would happen in this mission. It was very likely that the battlefield would be scattered. Hence, after the mission was completed or completed, they had to gather here and wait for everyone to return before heading to Sengoku. This was to prevent them from attracting too much attention by repeatedly returning to Sengoku.
At this moment, there was only one extremely beautiful and holy figure here. It was Yao.
Yao would return to Sengoku with everyone, so she had been waiting here. The more time passed, the more nervous she became. She was worried about the four Immortal Ministers, but she was even more worried about Lu An. She didn't want Lu An to participate in this operation. It was true that he wouldn't be lucky enough to survive every time. This kind of luck might not last forever. Once something bad happened, the entire Lu Clan wouldn't be able to bear it.
Even with Yao's personality, she could not stand in the same place. Instead, she paced back and forth. Finally, when she sensed the presence of someone, she immediately turned around to look!
It was Lu An!
And … Qi!
Bang!
Qi's body fell heavily to the ground. His blood immediately dyed the surrounding ground red. He was on the verge of death. There was no way for him to resist. Compared to Qi's miserable state, Lu An was completely unharmed. Not to mention injuries, even his breathing was not disturbed. The difference was like heaven and earth.
"Husband!" Yao did not care about Qi at all. Instead, she threw herself into Lu An's embrace. She was glad that Lu An had returned safely.
Lu An hugged Yao. He knew that she was worried. He softly comforted her before letting go. Yao's expression turned for the better. Then, she looked at Qi on the ground. She then looked at Lu An and asked, "Why did husband come back alone? What happened?"
"The four Immortal Ministers went to chase after the two Spirit Clan members." Lu An said softly. "Senior Liang had originally severely injured him and trapped him in the array. Later, he left to help. He took pills and used weapons to forcefully escape from the array. I caught up with him and brought him back. "
Hearing her husband's words, Yao nodded lightly and lowered her head to look at Qi again. Yao was no longer who she was in the past. Even when she saw Qi's heavily injured appearance, her beautiful eyes did not have the slightest bit of pity. On the contrary, there was only coldness.
This was far from enough for a traitor of Sengoku.
Just in case, Lu An took off Qi's space ring to prevent him from saving himself again. As for what was inside, Lu An was not in a hurry to see it. He would leave it to Sengoku to handle.
Next, Lu An And Yao waited for the four immortal ministers to return. Lu An was very cautious, using his spatial energy to imprison Qi. This way, even if Qi had spatial teleportation, he would not be able to use it.
Time trickled by, and soon, half a cup of tea's time had passed. After such a long time, even Lu An's brows gradually furrowed.
Wasn't it a little too long?
A battle between Level Nine Heavenly Masters, no matter how long it was, could not last, especially in this kind of life and death battle. The four immortal ministers were chasing after the two Spirit Tribe members. Logically speaking, they should have the upper hand. Could something have happened?
These four immortal ministers held high positions in Sengoku. If something happened to them, even Sengoku would not be able to bear the consequences.
Lu An's heart was heavy. He resisted the urge to return to the battlefield to take a look. Even if he returned, he would not be able to help. Once he was discovered, he would become a burden to the four immortal ministers.
Time continued to pass. Finally, after a period of time, a gate to the Divine Realm suddenly opened. Lu An And Yao immediately turned to look!
He saw Ye and He walking out, but … there was only the two of them. There was no third person walking out.
Their expressions were very ugly, even more so when they saw Lu An And Yao. They could not even lift their heads.
Seeing that the two were fine, although their breathing was unstable, it was obvious that they were not injured. Lu An And Yao heaved a sigh of relief. Lu An immediately stepped forward and asked, "Seniors, how is the situation?"
"…"
Even if they could not bring themselves to say it, the two could not refuse to answer, much less lie. Ye shook his head and said, "He ran away."
Hearing this, Lu An's heart trembled.
Two immortal ministers could not even catch a Spirit Tribe member?
"This Spirit Tribe member's fighting ability is indeed very strong." He said in a low voice, "Although he is not our match, it would be very difficult to catch him. We chased him for a long time. In the end, he used some kind of technique to turn the sky red, causing us to lose track of him. He escaped. We searched for a while but could not find him, so we could only give up. "
Hearing their words, Lu An nodded slightly and said, "Seniors, do not be discouraged. The main goal of this operation is to catch Qi. As for catching the Spirit Tribe member, there is no need to rush. There is still a long way to go."
Hearing this, the two's expressions softened. In reality, the reason why Lu An could say this was because Liu Yi had predicted the outcome. Liu Yi's judgment was very simple. To be able to come to this star for a mission, the Spirit Tribe member might not be strong enough, but he definitely had two strong abilities. One was his loyalty, he definitely would not leak the information. The other was his ability to escape, he definitely had experience in this aspect. Although the four immortal ministers were stronger, it would not be easy to keep him here.
After the two returned, only Hu Heliang was not back yet. Ye Yuhe thought that she had returned late enough and that everyone was waiting for her. She did not expect that it would be someone who came back early. Based on this situation, the outcome of Hu Heliang's operation would not be optimistic.
Finally, after a while, the Immortal Realm Gate lit up again, illuminating the underground space.
The person who walked out was none other than Hu Heliang. Furthermore … there were only two of them.
Seeing this scene and seeing the two's heavy expressions, the outcome was obvious.
The gate to the Celestial Realm closed, and the entire space only had one more Qi compared to when they left.
Ye looked at the two walking over and asked, "You … didn't catch him either?"
Hearing Ye's question, Hu Heliang's body shook, he was even more certain of the current situation. Hu nodded heavily, then lowered his head to look at Qi on the ground.
Liang looked at Qi's heavily injured appearance and asked, "I didn't injure him. What happened?"
Hearing this, Lu An briefly explained what had happened. After hearing Lu An's words, the four immortal ministers' hearts became even heavier. If not for Lu An not leaving and attacking together, this operation would have been completely fruitless. Instead, it would have alerted the enemy.
Hu Heliang roughly explained the situation. In fact, the two of them had been searching for far longer than Ye Yuhe. When the Spirit Tribe member used the blood cloak and blood sacrifice, he had already escaped far away. Hu basically lost track of him. In other words, Hu Heliang had been searching for him the entire time he left.
"Let's go back and report." Hu's voice was very heavy. The other three immortal ministers felt the same way. After more than ten thousand years, the first battle between Sengoku and the Death Tribe. The four's first operation against the Death Tribe actually ended in failure. It was very likely that because of their actions, this scene would forever be written in Sengoku's history as a disgrace.
The others nodded and left with Qi in a pool of blood.

Eight Ancient Continents, Sengoku.
The two members of the Hachiko clan guarding the border were very anxious. The departure of the four immortal ministers had made their faces pale. They were afraid of causing a big commotion. Once the secret of secretly releasing the Sengoku member was exposed, they would definitely be very miserable. They were very afraid.
If they had known this would happen, they would not have agreed to Chen's departure. How would so many things have happened?
They waited from afternoon until late at night, but the four immortal ministers did not return. The two of them could not relax at all. They could only sit and wait.
Finally … Suddenly, a Immortal Realm Gate lit up. The two of them immediately trembled and stood up to look!
Lu An, Yao, the four immortal ministers, and … one person?
The two of them looked at the person who was covered in blood. This person was so miserable that they could not tell who he was. The two of them immediately became nervous. They could release the person, but they definitely could not let Sengoku bring an outsider back. Otherwise, who knew what would happen?!
"Who is he?!" One of them immediately stood in front of the others and asked hurriedly!
Everyone knew that the two of them would ask. Originally, they had thought of many reasons to let the two Spirit Tribe members get away with it. But now that Qi was back, there was no need to lie.
"He is Qi, a traitor of Sengoku. The Hachiko clan should know about him." Hu spoke and said in a low voice, "It should be fine if we capture the traitor, right?"
After speaking, Hu did not even look at the two of them. He directly grabbed Qi and strode into Sengoku.
